A lieutenant with the city Human Resources Administration police was arrested in Brooklyn on Wednesday after he was caught carrying a loaded, unlicensed gun, city investigators said.

Wendell Wright, 47, was busted outside his Bedford-Stuyvesant home before his shift started, the city Department of Investigation said.

City investigators started looking into Wright earlier in the week, after someone saw him carrying a gun on duty. HRA police officers are peace officers, and are not allowed to carry firearms while on the job.

Wright has worked for HRA since 2005, and earns an annual salary of $62,320. He was suspended from his job, DOI officials said.

He’s charged with criminal possession of a firearm, and on Wednesday was awaiting arraignment in Brooklyn criminal court.

“This defendant disregarded the law by carrying an unlicensed gun, conduct that endangers others and is not tolerated by the City, especially by someone charged with ensuring public safety, according to the charge,” DOI Commissioner Margaret Garnett said in a statement Wednesday. "I commend HRA for reporting this serious matter to DOI.”

“Ensuring a safe, supportive environment for clients and staff alike is our top priority as we help New Yorkers in need get back on their feet –– and we will not stand for any behavior that puts those we serve at risk,” the spokesperson said.

DSS officials said Wright will be immediately suspended for 30 days, and when he returns he’ll be placed on modified duty. The agency is also filing charges against him, officials said.

In September, the Daily News reported that all of HRA’s peace officers would be required to wear body cameras on the job by the end of 2019.

The decision was made nine months after HRA officers and city cops pulled an infant boy from the arms of his screaming mother, Jazmine Headley, at a Brooklyn welfare office in December 2018.
